Can you explain to me what I am looking at here? (curl -o 1.htm... >2.htm)? And how I can use it to view an AMP page?
Re:Better battery life with Microsoft Edge on Saturday April 15, 2017 @06:48PM (#14123268)
I've seen that message even when google is my default search engine. So I think it might just be something that shows up for everyone. I was using firefox though, perhaps Chrome + Default google will get rid of the message.

That's a fairly normal thing though, generally every operating system ensures there is a browser that can always be used for internal functions. Android has chrome (previously webview I think).

This must be fixed.

Urinals MUST count. Assuming that women's bathrooms have more sit-down toilets than men's, we are biased. It is unfair and sexist to allow female dominated companies more than their fair share of project managers!

Re:Why do you use Firefox? on Monday February 06, 2017 @04:32PM (#13584284)
I spoke with a Firefox dev, I was told that due to accessibility settings, multithreading with touchscreens wouldn't come until the current Beta build is released to stable. Technically it should already work on the beta build but it doesn't seem to work for me.

How is it possible for DuckDuckGo to offer google search results legally? Aren't Bing and Google constantly sniping at each other for implementing each other's results?

Unfortunately the majority of grads are unemployable. India definitely produces high quality engineers but they are limited to a few good schools and occasionally an exceptional student from somewhere else. You only need walk down the street in India to see ads for private engineering colleges run in shacks.
Re:Cryptanalysis of Enigma on Tuesday November 01, 2016 @01:59PM (#12848491)
There is also a really good book called Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson that has a lot to do with Bletchley Park and WW2 in general. Less informative but more entertaining.
